Well you probably don't want me to say this...but...just turn the treble down on your Yamaha. Unless you want an excuse for a new bass? In which case I'd say you definitely need a precision.

I love the moment when the curtains lift.......and it's another huge Gospel choir (with bowler hats on). And of course Robert Plant HATES that song!

Did you ever hear their version of 'Pretty Vacant', by the Sex Pistols, with The Vienna National Symphony Orchestra and The Vatican Boys Choir? It was a masterpiece of understatement.

Looks lovely.

Yes I noticed there was tear in is eye. He always hated that song anyway.

I felt it was only a matter of time before Gordon tried to make a break for it. Good for him that he managed to stay in his seat until the end. I remember watching a similar video, of Led Zep having to watch an excruciating performance of Stairway To Heaven, by the girls from Heart and a hundred piece gospel choir.

56 this year.

When you're in the gym etc, wear a weightlifting wrist brace. I wear one while I'm playing bass (on the right wrist that wasn't bad enough for surgery)and it keeps the symptoms away. Prevention is better than cure.....

Sounds good.

Good luck.

I've done a gig with it (if it's the 75 watt amp I'm thinking of).

I was thinking of buying a One 10. I already have the GKMB500 to go with it. At the moment I am using a BF Compact but I like the idea of being able to get on the bus with my gear. Does it produce enough volume to keep up with a drummer?

I'd say that the the covers and originals are mediocre at best. But we go down well and keep getting booked, due to the power of our onstage charisma and our guitarist's extremely tight trousers.

My band whack originals and covers in the set. We get as good response from the originals as we do the covers. I used to be precious about not doing covers, but after I learned a few challenging ones, I realised that they can stretch you and make you a better musician. Unfortunately I no longer get that warm sense of superiority, I used to have, when I could say to people ' Oh......we don't do covers'.

I played through one of these at the weekend and was very impressed with the sound and volume it put out. The band was playing rock, and consisted of a keyboard player, a guitarist going through a 50 watt, Marshall valve combo and a loudish drummer. I got up and played a few songs during the break, with my country band and the amp sounded nice close up and really full and deep out front (with the master only half way up) I even got a compliment from another musician, in the audience, on the sound of the bass. The amp wasn't on the floor, it was sitting on a wide, window ledge at about hip height. So there wasn't any coupling effect with the floor to enhance the bass frequencies but I could feel the bass through the soles of my shoes. I've also played through the original Promethean P5110 and I actually preferred the sound of the P3110. Looking at some of the comments previously, there doesn't seem to be a lot of love for this combo. But now, after hearing it in action, I'm seriously thinking about buying one. Oh and by the way, the owner traveled to his gig by bus. That's how portable it is.

If you have the bass and treble boost on together, it will have the effect of sounding like you've turned all you mid frequencies down low. A good sound for slapping but not for much else.

I had the previous version, which was the BC 2x12. I liked the sound of the cab and it was very light but if your band is very loud, like mine was at the time, you'll probably need two.

Police Cat

Yes she's great. She was on the dole when I knew her and was busking on the streets of Edinburgh. She played with her band Redlight stylus. This is them doing their thing back in 2001.

Hype. I used to go see KT Tunstall when she lived in Edinburgh. I could see she had great talent but I was watching her playing in coffee bars, with her looper peda,l for 50 quid a gig. Then one day there's a cancellation on Jools Holland's show and she suddenly gets exposure to a UK wide audience. The next thing you know her album is a No 3 in the UK charts and it goes multi platinum around the world. Talent is not enough, it needs exposure. There's plenty of people out there who are as talented as KT Tunstall but they'll never make it big without a bit of hype. Just to jog your memories.....

I was once offered a 'Truckers Luv It' by Boz Burrell, from Bad Company. I declined.

I wonder why he plays with his thumb, damping the strings with his palm, all the time? It can be a good technique for certain types of basslines but can be limiting. He used to play with a pick.
